The only reason I will buy cash is to try to get a better deal, and then right after, I can refinance to take advantage of the interest rates.I am trying to figure out what makes more sense in Gastonia?

The second buyer will pay 150K cash after appraisal.I assuming number 2 is the better deal.

What are a few things you look for in a good deal?

You wrote that you bought a condo but that you're dealing with a homeowner's association rather than a condo owner's association. 

Almost got a place in Tuscany back in Feb but couldn’t quite come to an agreement on deal terms. 

Be conscious of people's time and be respectful of the work your loan officer/broker is putting in to get your deal to the closing table.

In turn the seller can take action against you because there is an agreement between you and the seller.This is true UNLESS you did this deal as an actual "assignment" and the contract between you and the seller has "or assigns" as the buyer and you notified the buyer of the change in buyers prior to the deal falling apart.

It's definitely possible and we have done some similar deals.  

Know what everything costs, be ready to jump as soon as you spot a deal, and be creative enough to make it look good. 

This can be perceived as a "deal" due to price point.Alternatively, can the unit be delivered vacant?
